Kepler Communications
Kepler Communications builds and operates satellite infrastructure that relays data between spacecraft and Earth in real time. Its vertically integrated Toronto operation designs, manufactures and deploys an optical communications constellation whose satellites serve as internet exchange points in orbit, using compatible inter-satellite links and network protocols. Alongside connectivity, Kepler offers hosted payload capacity and on-orbit compute to help satellite operators process and move mission data. Its operational optical relay network began with a ten-satellite ring launched in January 2026, building on earlier radio-frequency satellites and optical pathfinder demonstrations.
